The Perception of Beauty Distorted

Media has had a really big impact on our lives, one example of this is the perception of beauty. Our perception of beauty has been distorted as mentioned in the Dove evolution video. This has occurred because of the changes media has done with us.

Have you never wondered why models in advertisements are so perfect?

We think that models are what we should be like and if we are not like them we are considered ugly or fat but if we are ever able to look exactly like them we will reach perfection and what we don't take into account is that all of the models we see everyday in advertisements, posters and images which are everywhere have been changed in some way with the use of photoshop making them be what we think is perfect.

 Because of the media is is now impossible for us humans to ever be perfect, and since we do not know that what we see is most likely false we do what we think will make us look like them leading to depression which could cause anorexia or other eating disorders when trying to be skinny or it could even make someone a greater damage because of not thinking they are beautiful enough between other things. 

Media does truly have a great impact on our lives and in this case it has a very big negative impact because beauty is nothing specific, our perception of beauty could really be different for everyone and it could be anything.
